I am currently trying to create a system that will pull data
and display it in a printable format...i need it to also be
editable either before of after the transfer to printable
format...i thought i could use flashpaper and edit the document but
have been unssuccessful. Does anyone know a way to do this or have
any ideas, my only other one was to edit the data before creating
the cfdocument but due to the process these are being used in that
would be a highly undesirable route...please help?!

I never did solve this problem, but in playing around with it
you might try using cfhttp to get the content of the page your are
tyring to view and then putting the output in a cfdocument....i
know this works for outputting normal html pages and the like...not
sure if it will work with a word/excel file but it might be worth
playing with
